Judas Decapitation

This is the tale of a bearded sloth

Who debases himself so they can get their rocks off.

Recruits five skinny, better-looking men to play guitar parts he'll never play again

So it's lash after lash like a budget

Christ from every blog or zine that took the chance to look twice

I'm not saying that this dude is me or speaking brutally of myself to gain traction. Action! There goes the camera click

American Indie-Rock is a game of pricks

They're the gods of what was independent rock

And now is vaguely refined hogwash that I mock

Jacket patched up with a Wesleyan degree

Legs bound

Tongue out

Grinning as they piss on me but

I don't care

It's what I'm known for

I'll take it gleefully

I'm wrong and you're right and that's my thesis

Here tonight with my gut and my bulge

I'll make the whole world scream, the whole room bleed

I'll lose for your gain if it'll spruce up my refrain

It's what they want. The band plays while the ship goes down

I hate that dude now that he's married

He's got a baby on the way; poor Sherri

That's not apropos. He's not the wretch we know

Chop his family up so we can feed them to the front row

Spike his fifteenth espresso with drugs

So he's convinced it's a manic delusion to know true love

Be 19 with a joint in hand. Never change the band

Never ever be a real man."

I'm wrong and you're right and that's my thesis

Here tonight with my gut and my bulge

I'll make the whole world scream, the whole room bleed

I'll lose for your gain if it'll spruce up my refrain

It's what they want. The band plays while the ship goes down

This isn't for the ones

Who know what it really means

They just follow other people's dreams

They were told by a friend of a friend of a friend

Music made to be used and forgotten again like a whore

Like a pair of washed out expensive retro boys underwear we can never repair

I'm wrong and you're right and that's my thesis

Here tonight with my gut and my bulge

I'll make the whole world scream, the whole room bleed

I'll lose for your gain if it'll spruce up my refrain

It's what they want. The band plays while the ship goes down

Ship goes down, ship goes down, ship goes down

The band plays while the ship goes down
